Answer Wiki

this is kind of complicated but…
before clearing the file in rpg, have your rpg program call a cl program that does this command
WRKOBJLCK OBJ(library / filename) OBJTYPE(*FILE) output(*print) , then copy the spoolfile to a physical file. cpysplf. and have your rpg program read the physical file to see if there are locks and what the locking jobs are. If necessary, you can then call a cl program to end the locking jobs, disable the user profiles, and reenable them after your program is finished. I used to do that in a backup job stream.

If the file is in use by someone else, it seems odd to be trying to clear it. That would obviously have serious effects on someone else's job. Perhaps a review of the application design is in order.
However, the List Object Locks (QWCLOBJL) API will list all jobs that currently have any kinds of locks on a file member. There might be multiple jobs.
